<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	On October 16, 1846, American dentist and physician William Thomas Green Morton performed the first public demonstration of diethyl ether anaesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston in the USA using ether as an inhalational anaesthetic agent for removal of a jaw tumour.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	For the first time in history, a patient underwent surgery without any sensation or pain. Following this medical discovery, doctors and surgeons began to use ether for general surgeries across the world. Morgan, considered the founder of modern anaesthesia, proved that ether was effective as an anaesthetic gas and also highlighted the significance of delivery of a proper dose of anaesthesia for safe practice.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h4>
	<strong>What is Anaesthesia?</strong></h4>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Anaesthesia, which is induced for medical purposes, makes the patient lose consciousness for a short period of time to numb the pain during surgical procedures, it also causes a temporary loss of awareness or sensation.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Anesthesia puts a patient into temporary unconsciousness during an operation or surgery. Anaesthesia is divided into four categories; general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, monitored anaesthesia care and local anaesthesia.</div>

Shubman Gill showed his insatiable hunger for runs with fifth hundred of the year while Shreyas Iyer hit a timely ton under pressure to set up a series sealing 99-run win for India in the second ODI against Australia here on Sunday.
Gill (104 off 97 balls) and Iyer (105 off 90 balls) shared a stroke-filled 200-run stand off 164 balls before Suryakumar Yadav (72 not out off 37 balls) unleashed carnage to fire India to 399 for five, the hosts' highest total against Australia in ODIs.
Skipper K L Rahul chipped in with 52 off 38 balls.
Rain stopped play for the second time in the game when Australia were 56 for two in nine overs. With the revised target of 317 in 33 overs, they fell further behind in the game and ended with 217 all out in 28.2 overs.

International credit agency Moody's Investors Service has made sweeping assertions against Aadhaar without citing any evidence, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said on Monday.
The UIDAI issued a strong rebuttal to Moody's Investors Service which claimed that the Aadhaar system often results in service denials and the reliability of biometric technologies, especially for manual labourers, in hot and humid climates is questionable.
"A certain investor service has, without citing any evidence or basis, made sweeping assertions against Aadhaar, the most trusted digital ID in the world. Over the last decade, over a billion Indians have expressed their trust in Aadhaar by using it to authenticate themselves over 100 billion times," the UIDAI said in a statement.
The unique id Aadhaar's custodian said that the report in question does not cite either primary or secondary data or research in support of the opinions presented in it.

Canada has updated travel advisory for its citizens in India asking them to "stay vigilant and exercise caution" in the context of recent developments as there are calls for protests and some "negative sentiment" towards Canada on social media.
Tensions flared between India and Canada following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's explosive allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, on his country's soil on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
India angrily rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
"In the context of recent developments in Canada and in India, there are calls for protests and some negative sentiment towards Canada on social media. Please remain vigilant and exercise caution," the Canadian government said in an

India is considering importing cheetahs from northern Africa due to concerns that these big cats from Namibia and South Africa have developed a winter coat in the Indian summer, officials said on Wednesday.
According to the officials, one of the significant challenges faced during the first year of managing cheetahs in India was the unexpected development of winter coats by some cheetahs during the Indian summer and monsoon, in anticipation of the African winter (June to September).
Even African experts did not anticipate this, a senior forest official said.
The winter coat, combined with high humidity and temperatures, caused itching, leading the animals to scratch their necks on tree trunks or the ground. This scratching resulted in bruises and exposed skin, where flies laid their eggs, leading to maggot infestations and, ultimately, bacterial infections and septicemia, resulting in the deaths of three cheetahs, the official explained.
"Considering that cheetahs in northern and .
